The next morning, I arrived at the branch office for a meeting.
All the company's employees were waiting to greet me in the lobby. I felt helpless, as all this formalism was unnecessary.
At the meeting, I pointed out the current problems of the branch and discussed follow-up plans, etc. The meeting lasted for two hours.
While it was still morning, I followed Mingsi's instructions and brought gifts to visit her childhood friends.
Mingsi had prepared the gift long ago and had me bring it from the capital. I also bought some other gifts, so this was a generous welcome gift.
The driver drove to a remote suburban villa. I confirmed the address again and again before ringing the doorbell.
A middle-aged man walked out of the villa. He was slightly surprised to see me, then asked happily, "You are Mingsi's daughter, right? You look quite a bit like her."
"Husband, who is it?"
A gentle female voice was heard, and then a woman who looked about the same age as Mingsi came out.
The man introduced: "She is Mingsi's daughter. Haven't you always been clamoring to meet her?"
I greeted them with a smile and handed over the gift in my hand: "This is a small gift prepared for you two."
The couple enthusiastically pulled me in: "Come in and sit down!"
These two were Mingsi's good friends when he was a child. Both husband and wife have the surname Wang, which is a wonderful fate.
The living room is filled with various calligraphy and paintings, each with a different style, which makes me admire them.
Both the couple are artists. Although living here is remote, it is quiet and most suitable for artistic creation.
Aunt Wang pulled me to sit on the sofa, and Uncle Wang brewed a pot of good tea to entertain me and also carefully arranged a fruit plate.
We chatted about interesting things that happened to them and Mingsi in their childhood, and I listened with great interest.
The three of them are very good friends, and Mingsi can talk about anything with them.
So they were well aware of the hardships that Mingsi and I had gone through.
Now that Mingsi and I, mother and daughter, are reunited, they are happy for us.
Aunt Wang took my hand and said, "Your personality is very similar to your mother's. She has been a very strong woman since she was a child. Fortunately, you have survived all the ups and downs. God will surely bless you and your daughter."
They said a lot of caring words to me, which made me feel very warm.
We drank tea and chatted while the news was playing on TV, and they would occasionally listen.
"The latest news is that Fengjian Industrial has been suffering losses for a long time and the company is overwhelmed..."
The news reported the details, and I was only drawn to it when I heard the name.
Fengjian Industry? Isn't that Yan Lirong's company?
Seeing me looking at the TV, Aunt Wang also glanced at it. She didn't care whether the company was good or bad, and said casually: "The eldest son of the Yan family has returned."
I was suddenly shocked.
Yan Meng had just returned to South City. How could the news be transmitted so quickly in such a short period of time?!
I asked, "Aunt Wang, are you friends with the Yan family? You seem to know a lot about them?"
Aunt Wang smiled helplessly, shook her head, and whispered to me, "I heard the servants gossiping while they were working."
The domestic servants in these wealthy families have all received unified training, so they keep in touch with each other and can't help gossiping with each other.
"The maid at the Yan family said that Huo Hui suddenly took her son back to her parents' home the day before yesterday. Yan Meng returned to the Yan family yesterday, and Yan Lirong looked particularly unhappy."
Aunt Wang sighed, "I'm afraid the Yan family is about to change."
